Joining the Twitter ACL discourse to say: stop blaming the design of the female body and start thinking about the fact that our world has been researched and designed for men. Let's control the controllable.

THE NEW IDA HELIA IS COMING JULY 16 🏜️

BIG NEWS❗️

IDA has collaborated with @GuinnessGB on the first-ever soft ground boot for female athletes! This one-of-a-kind boot is not for sale BUT will be on display at the Women’s Six Nations rugby tournament 😍

[Tom Garry @TomJGarry]

Michele Kang has just invested $2m in IDA Sports, who design & make football boots for women. Kang says: "There is minimal sports science research focused solely on female athletes. IDA challenges this traditional way of thinking. Women’s sports should never be an afterthought."

🤯 Then and now, 10 years apart!

🔥 Women's football keeps growing and it's just the beginning!

Looks like the @Womens6Nations is ending with a record crowd for every single host country this weekend. Incredible 👏

[Emelia Funnell @emeliafunnell]

@NenaKaz @wearefoudys Does it come with the new Arsenchelsea sock as well? 🤔😂

[Emelia Funnell @emeliafunnell]

Patiently awaiting May when apparently FIFA will have a decision for 2027…

[Emelia Funnell @emeliafunnell]

Unbelievable that FIFA refused to acknowledge the 1971 Women’s World Cup.

Also that we still don’t know where the 2027 Women’s World Cup will be hosted but we know for the 2026, 2030, and 2034 Men’s World Cups.

Yet actually this is all so believable! Give Copa 71 a watch!

In honor of #WomensHistoryMonth , we present to you “A Short History of History”, featuring some not-that-long-ago milestones. 🤯

Here’s to building more of a world designed for us!

*The first men’s team to do it four times.

The black ferns, current world champions, have done it six times.

Ridiculous error for a huge company.

Put some respect on the women’s game.
